Is my 7800gt meant to be this loud??? I have had it for a 2-3 months now and everytime i even scroll down on the mouse it clicks. It gets really noisy in css and in age of empires 3 it sounds like a 50cc scooter. Starting to really bug me now.
 
well tbh my xp-120 is louder than the fan, its just the godforsaken clicking noise that happens everytime a movie is playing or a game is playing or even when a page in firefox is loading.

Sounds odd, you sure it is the gfx card causing this?

The FX5800 & FX5900 (I'll go and wash my mouth out with soap and water for even mentioning them :o ) used to click when scrolling pages etc. but I haven't heard of the problem on the 7xxx series :confused:
 
yea its definitely the gfx card thats doin the clicking, the noise just cant be coming from anywhere else. There is no clicking before i install *** gfx drivers, but as soon as i install the driver, it clicks away.

Well....guess what.

I am getting a similar problem!

I haven't used the sound hardly since doing some upgrading but today noticed a humming noise when I scroll/ page loads/ HDD is used etc.

Faint luckily but definitely a slight annoyance with head phones on.

Luckily I only use sound and headphones for gaming and a quick blat inHL2 proved it not to be a problem.

I am thinking my on board sound may be the underlying issue and will try out an old PCI card when I get the chance. :)
 
Dont even have a phone line option in my sound options and everything is shown. The sound only appears when i install the gfx drivers, even older drivers cause the same problem, i formatted the pc bout 3 times to make sure i wasnt doin anything else that was causing it.

It was the "Line In" option that cured it for me. :)
 
i think i use to get a noise when i was scrolling on web pages with my old Leadtek GeForce 6800LE..
